“Someone has misrepresented photos taken at a restaurant five years ago for their own purposes and so I’m just not going to comment,” Jones told ESPN.com.

The women claim they didn’t know the photos were being taken, and that they have no involvement in an alleged extortion plot against Jones.

Jones, never media shy, has been underground since the pictures became public. He said that he has been a bit under the weather, which explained his absence.

He also addressed the story involving his son and team vice president Stephen Jones, who hung out on the team’s party bus and a night on the town with the director of officials, Dean Blandino. While it appears a gross conflict of interest, Jerry Jones sees it as the exact opposite.

“I just don’t have a problem with it all,” he said, “and I don’t deem it inappropriate at all. Part of Blandino’s job during the offseason is to network with the clubs, that’s a good thing. Officiating is doing a good job, and I just don’t have a problem with that. As you know, our bus is an area that we entertain and that’s what we do. So I just don’t have a problem with that.”
